Optischer Sensor für Erkennung von Werkstücken auf Dem Laufenden Band, Realisiert Mit Einem Modularen System

In order to facilitate the realization of cost effective sensor systems we are developing a modular system (MODSYS) whose modules can be configurated into optoelectronic sensors — each tailored to a specific task. As an example we describe a complex sensor configuration which recognizes workpieces on a moving conveyor belt. The parts are in random positions but do not touch each other. The experimental set-up consists of a conveyor belt, infrared-flashlight, TV-camera, and the MODSYS-configuration with a Z-80-micro-processor.
